8:46 - 27:17 - This game felt so bizarre to watch. At times, it almost felt like they saw what you were doing, like blind-countering your BCs with something that isn't a build. Then at other times, it didn't feel like that at all.
progamers do seemingly dumb stuff like build base right in front of the army they know is coming, attack with a unit with 1 hp, drop with a medivac that has 1 hp, etc. I don't get why you have 400 apm but then do stuff like that. but i guess it's harder than it looks.
@@MichaelLochlann From my personal experience going from silver > low grandmaster. It's just about quantity > quality. 3 bad plays happening at the same time will more often than not, beat a singular good play. Granted that the bad plays are not so bad that they are negative micro.
idk what harstem was doing he usually has such good calls. but he kept massing bc into mass stalker, he had so many of those bcs and they just sat at home while his opponent took free bases. his opponent literally built like 6 stargates to transition and harstem never saw them. he was harassing with teleport, instead of flying over and teleporting out. it's been a while since I saw a game this bad from him

On the restraurant monologue, I sometimes ask the waiter/waitress to pick between a few different things and not tell me. I like the surprise when the food comes :D
"Kak tak" means something approximately similar to "how in the world?" in russian. And if it doesn't, I should see a doctor, maybe that's the push I needed.
Dear Harstem, one time I got something stuck in my eye, and the doctor had to put in a dissolvable strip into my eye to "melt" it I guess and it all dissolved into tears.
1. opthalmologist is an eye specialist .. usually handles stuff like eye surgeries (laser, retinal, cataracts). 2. optometrist is an eye doctor who regularly checks your eyes for any issues and determines your prescription for eyeglasses or contacts 3. optician is someone who helps you select an appropriate eyeglasses frame and type of lenses (or contact lens) for your given prescription
It's the wrong kind of eye man for what he's talking about though. An optician fits you for glasses/contacts or other corrective devices. The eye man who actually checks out your eyes to see if there's problems is an _optometrist._ Should've just stuck with 'eye doctor', that works for both opticians and optometrists, and also ophthalmologists (those last are the ones who do actual medical/surgical treatment). Props for getting the right word for any kind of eye doctor in English though, way better than I could do in his language.
Ophthalmologists are the specialists. Optometrists are absolutely doctors, but they're not medical doctors like ophthalmologists are. If you just need a new prescription, an optometrist is generally all you'll need. But if you have a history of or start having eye problems, an ophthalmologist is who you want to see. *edit* a plural
I am nowhere near your level, but I think you sat your BCs at home doing nothing the whole game when their whole strong point is doing damage and teleporting out of danger/back home to defend. Even just yamato'ing stalkers whenever he's close
that 2nd game is super sus... on the protoss' end. but then again, if you think about it, if he's proxy'd you into a one base potentially all in that he doesn't scout EXACTLY but the blind counter of cannons in mineral line + batteries and having stalkers on the ready for a bc... i'd watch the replay for timing on it... cuz terran has to go ALL the way to end game tier for BC and he just assumes you're gonna go BC instead of delayed natural and third with a later mech or potentially bio + tank support. i'd watch replay...
23:00 at this point you should have at least a 4th and 5th up and running + an extra base with some sim city action instead of having 2 orbitals at the new bases, i'd put at least 1 maybe TWO planetaries + sim city with depots/bunkers or other buildings to make it HARDER for him to attack your orbital that's mining since you aren't against banelines or air.
25:24 what is the EXACT counter to that many end game air from protoss (i can't think of the name of that air unit but its basically air siege) expensive, slow, but LOOONG range and obliterates buildings. what is the precise counter to them other than making a ton of vikings? is it a combo of ghosts for EMP and BC or do Ravens counter them with that ability that disrupts them? idk. terran is my least played out of all 3 races. i played toss during BETA only and then most of WoL until I switched to Random due to the fact playing Random would give you icons (if you won) in the race you got PLUS random race. so you were playing for 2 icons instead of just one. i ended up in top division on beta as protoss since most maps were super small except maybe one or two which could easily be veto'd cept i left one open (the OG version of lost temple - i guess SC2's nod to wc3's lost temple idk) but they remade it a couple times in WoL. then there was that map that IdrA is FAMOUSLY trolled for leaving in a BIG TOURNAMENT because his enemy made mass hallucinated voidrays and instead of fighting it or just backing up until it ran out, he just left game and people trolled him for years - hell i think they still do. forgot name of map but i had SO MANY games on that map and I lost a LOT to proxy terran marauder + marauder slow upgrade as protoss. this was also back in WoL. tbh that was my favorite of the 3 simply due to how simple the match ups were... mirror match ups, map match ups, etc. and it took FOREVER for people to have a consistent answer for the protoss beta proxy 2 gate zealot rush that literally gave me rank 1 top division in beta with 80+ wins and maybe 9 losses or 11 losses max before retail released. and instantly got to top division using that strat as well as the 4 gate strat and the 3gate/immortal rush. since expo's were not practically REQUIRED every game. you had your one-base players or you had the people who began the "macro" play by expanding. if i recall, zergs did this the most in the beginning of WoL since zerg was weaker in a 1:1 base match up so they essentially HAD to have an expo to compete against the other 2 races. really disliked the zvz cuz if you tried to 10 pool back then and they held it, or if they blind countered it with banes, you were just boned.
tempest moves very slowly so it's weak to attacking in multiple places at once, or having counter attacks setup that you send in when the tempest ball shows up on your side of the map
ok phew you scanned it and got it, it did move but i swear it was closer into the mineral line/gas. i barely saw it due to your settings. i wish i knew how "pros" had their settings to see burrowed/invisible units better without having the REST of the map/building/units/minerals all maxed to ultra. i actually PREFER the lower end graphics of mineral patches and units and so on but i really wish i could navigate the settings to be able to EASILY spot invisible units/observers/burrowed units. if YOU or someone else could help me with settings... please do, ASAP, i'd genuinely appreciate it. and tell me in a way you'd tell a braindead child, as in step-by-step, PRECISE name... cuz the settings have changed names over the years and so many new things have appeared. lastly, i can run with all settings on ultra but i don't want to. so, someone please help a brother out.
Tanks are so overpowered in TvT you don't need marines. They just disappear after the first volley anyway. Second starport isn't even cheese. It's just correct.
Love how Harstem stayed committed to the all-in after defeating the other guy's proxy without taking damage, and seeing batteries in both bases. Felt like they were both trying hard to throw the game away for a bit there.
At 18:00 You worry what your response should be when they turtle against battlecruisers. Expect Vikings.. try to follow this.. because they are responding to battlecruiser the answer is Vikings and a few turrets.. because of the Viking threat you must make 2 Vikings for every battle cruiser, and tech switch back to marines.. so anticipating Vikings make a balanced army heavy in marines. Whenever you play if you get lost .. visualize your best unit composition for the army you perceive he must be building. Tell me if I'm wrong.
So expect that marines and Vikings will protect you against whatever they get. mostly marines.. and if it goes air mines are preferable to tanks. the main reason for this is so you have enough gas for more battlecruiser Viking. Also.. try to keep a raven in your army. Have it follow the battlecruisers for protection so it wont leap forward first.

Harstem: Builds CC right in front of opponent army
Opponent: Destroys CC
Harstem: "This guy is not playing bad at all."
progamers do seemingly dumb stuff like build base right in front of the army they know is coming, attack with a unit with 1 hp, drop with a medivac that has 1 hp, etc. I don't get why you have 400 apm but then do stuff like that. but i guess it's harder than it looks.

0:13 one gate playing terran, 2024 variety lol

Harstem: _jokes about his opponent forgetting things_
Also Harstem: _forgets observers and sensor towers exist_
And Yamato for like 90% of the game
The first game was a work of art. Sad that he forgot the gg, happens to the best of us
The "cheese" just looks like an early commit to a mech game lol
The eye shop is where you buy extra eyes, not where you get them checked. An optometrist is where you get them checked, you were close.
Gives me Minority Report flashbacks.
Is it just me or does it feel like the second game is less like an IODIS complaint and more like a hacking complaint?
Oh... lol
Why edit
@@davidgarber7456 ''Oh... lol''
Yeah, I also thought a few things in this game were pretty damn sus.
It looked weird to me too

KakTak translates from Russian to roughly "how is it (this way)?"
In Dutch it translates to 'poop stick'
легенда
"How so?" to be precise
KakTak translates to "sister, no" in malay. XD
One gate expand with Terren. Impressive.
someone is going "beating grandmasters with stupid stuff" against Harstem in the second game.
On the restraurant monologue, I sometimes ask the waiter/waitress to pick between a few different things and not tell me. I like the surprise when the food comes :D
"Kak tak" means something approximately similar to "how in the world?" in russian. And if it doesn't, I should see a doctor, maybe that's the push I needed.
It is funny that his Terran is primarily builds which annoy him when he plays Protoss, and plays them just to annoy other Protoss players.
Dear Harstem, one time I got something stuck in my eye, and the doctor had to put in a dissolvable strip into my eye to "melt" it I guess and it all dissolved into tears.
is the doctor imba or do my eyes suck
5:20 Ophthalmologist
Or optometrist if it's just for contacts like he mentioned.
1. opthalmologist is an eye specialist .. usually handles stuff like eye surgeries (laser, retinal, cataracts).
2. optometrist is an eye doctor who regularly checks your eyes for any issues and determines your prescription for eyeglasses or contacts
3. optician is someone who helps you select an appropriate eyeglasses frame and type of lenses (or contact lens) for your given prescription
@@senatorhung Cool. Two new words added to the vocabulary. Thanks :)
@@senatorhung already calling all 3 of them
5:19 "I don't know what it's called in English... optician?" (like he just randomly guessed the correct word for 'eye man')
what a flex
It's the wrong kind of eye man for what he's talking about though. An optician fits you for glasses/contacts or other corrective devices. The eye man who actually checks out your eyes to see if there's problems is an _optometrist._

Props for getting the right word for any kind of eye doctor in English though, way better than I could do in his language.
Thing is, he had the Dutch word in his head, which is the word adopted from French "Opticien". So he just pronounced that in English and it worked
I just had the thought late at night, every single terran unit is used for harass except maybe the thor and siege tank.
5:10 Optometrist or Ophthalmologist, an Optician is kinda like a clinic assistant. I will also accept eye-man
@harstem re: second game: KakTak in Russian means "how come". Which is also a pretty accurate description of the game itself.
Eye doctor - optometrist
Ophthalmologists are the specialists. Optometrists are absolutely doctors, but they're not medical doctors like ophthalmologists are. If you just need a new prescription, an optometrist is generally all you'll need. But if you have a history of or start having eye problems, an ophthalmologist is who you want to see.

@@thatkevin8792 Well, I have now learned a new word. Thank you, sir.
KakTak means "how's that (happens)?" in Russian. Could it be Genies other account?
that protoss at ~15:00 does he have a robo and observers or is he maphacking?
Harstem does find and kill an observer at one point, but there's still a lot of suspicious stuff going on in this.
Ophthalmologist for 2000 Alex!
I got an apointment to the eye doctor due this video
Opthalmologist. Close one, dear fellow creature of the sea!
I am nowhere near your level, but I think you sat your BCs at home doing nothing the whole game when their whole strong point is doing damage and teleporting out of danger/back home to defend. Even just yamato'ing stalkers whenever he's close
good ol' terran one gate expand 😅
In America we call them optometrists
As a waiter I can tell you, the honest answer for what the recommend is ‘quadruple vodka and French fries’
that 2nd game is super sus... on the protoss' end.
but then again, if you think about it, if he's proxy'd you into a one base potentially all in that he doesn't scout EXACTLY
but the blind counter of cannons in mineral line + batteries and having stalkers on the ready for a bc... i'd watch the
replay for timing on it... cuz terran has to go ALL the way to end game tier for BC and he just assumes you're gonna go
BC instead of delayed natural and third with a later mech or potentially bio + tank support.
i'd watch replay...
For the second game I think having mines / raven for this blink-in player could be super fun
A good waiter recommends the most profitable item.
23:00 at this point you should have at least a 4th and 5th up and running + an extra base with some sim city action
instead of having 2 orbitals at the new bases, i'd put at least 1 maybe TWO planetaries + sim city with depots/bunkers
or other buildings to make it HARDER for him to attack your orbital that's mining since you aren't against banelines or air.
hey captain,. thank for reminding me i had to go the the optometrist for my new glasses,.. 👍
25:24 what is the EXACT counter to that many end game air from protoss (i can't think of the name of that air unit but its basically air siege)
expensive, slow, but LOOONG range and obliterates buildings. what is the precise counter to them other than making a ton of vikings?
is it a combo of ghosts for EMP and BC or do Ravens counter them with that ability that disrupts them? idk. terran is my least played out of
all 3 races. i played toss during BETA only and then most of WoL until I switched to Random due to the fact playing Random would give you
icons (if you won) in the race you got PLUS random race. so you were playing for 2 icons instead of just one.
i ended up in top division on beta as protoss since most maps were super small except maybe one or two which could easily be veto'd
cept i left one open (the OG version of lost temple - i guess SC2's nod to wc3's lost temple idk) but they remade it a couple times in WoL.
then there was that map that IdrA is FAMOUSLY trolled for leaving in a BIG TOURNAMENT because his enemy made mass hallucinated
voidrays and instead of fighting it or just backing up until it ran out, he just left game and people trolled him for years - hell i think they still do.
forgot name of map but i had SO MANY games on that map and I lost a LOT to proxy terran marauder + marauder slow upgrade as protoss.
this was also back in WoL.
tbh that was my favorite of the 3 simply due to how simple the match ups were... mirror match ups, map match ups, etc.
and it took FOREVER for people to have a consistent answer for the protoss beta proxy 2 gate zealot rush that literally gave me rank 1 top division
in beta with 80+ wins and maybe 9 losses or 11 losses max before retail released. and instantly got to top division using that strat as well as the
4 gate strat and the 3gate/immortal rush. since expo's were not practically REQUIRED every game. you had your one-base players or you had the
people who began the "macro" play by expanding. if i recall, zergs did this the most in the beginning of WoL since zerg was weaker in a 1:1 base
match up so they essentially HAD to have an expo to compete against the other 2 races. really disliked the zvz cuz if you tried to 10 pool back then
and they held it, or if they blind countered it with banes, you were just boned.
tempest moves very slowly so it's weak to attacking in multiple places at once, or having counter attacks setup that you send in when the tempest ball shows up on your side of the map
Awesome. Kaktak translates like "how the f***", legit best name for that type of a game.
19:08 ish, i THINK i can see the protoss' observer in your third. between mineral and top gas geyser.
ok phew you scanned it and got it, it did move but i swear it was closer into the mineral line/gas.
i barely saw it due to your settings.
i wish i knew how "pros" had their settings to see burrowed/invisible units better without having
the REST of the map/building/units/minerals all maxed to ultra.
i actually PREFER the lower end graphics of mineral patches and units and so on but i really wish
i could navigate the settings to be able to EASILY spot invisible units/observers/burrowed units.
if YOU or someone else could help me with settings... please do, ASAP, i'd genuinely appreciate it.
and tell me in a way you'd tell a braindead child, as in step-by-step, PRECISE name... cuz the
settings have changed names over the years and so many new things have appeared.
lastly, i can run with all settings on ultra but i don't want to. so, someone please help a brother out.
Wow Vision Express even reach Harstem videos to spam me about booking another appointment. They are thorough.
beside marauder cheez you also done some 2-3 tanks cheez
This build is so cool
love hastem talking about how he went proxy marauder in a PvP, is there nothing he cant do?
Anyone notice the pop sound at 0:00 ?
That 2 starport build seems cool, have to try it! - maybe enough of these 2 rax marauder pushes already, its getting little bit booring...
creatures of the sea will come for you
Don't make me think about my eyes and how well they work....
Most waiters recommend what their managers make them recommend not to inflate the tips. That’s what desserts and drinks are for.

Don't think of the no-gg as a lack of manners. Consider it a complement to you cheesing so well.
1 gate expansion huh?
Cheenazes
KakTak is russian for how's that
dude was a hacker
That second game was painful to watch... :(
probe harassing is literally the most annoying interaction in any video game, ever
The most popular cheese is Parmesan!!! Not Vikings and Ravens.
marauder IMBA
is it really cheese tho? a win at 9 minutes. I think that's just called a strategy.
